When the hand was originally played, the English declarer cashed K and switched to diamonds, but the best line is to switch to diamonds before cashing K!

If a defender ruffs from an original holding of Jx (maybe he likes false-carding) then you can accept the club force in dummy by ruffing with the king. After returning to hand with a spade ruff then you can force out Q with your ten. You ruff the return, draw the last trump and claim.

29/03/20026 I'm reading this again and, after a couple of glasses of red wine, I can't make sense of it! It a defender ruffs the K from a holding of Jx then you are surely going off. An initial club, K ruffed with J and both red queens adds up to four losers to me, even when I'm inebriated. Any thoughts?
